Did you know....

That you can adopt many of the small animals that can be purchased at a pet store? I often see bunnies, ferrets, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, reptiles, and more for adoption at your local animal shelter. If you can't find what your looking for at the shelter, there is often a specialized rescue available. To make this even better, the animals are usually spayed/neutered (if they can be), vaccinated, and sexed beforehand.



For instance, this is Shamrock and Patrick, two adorable bunnies available for adoption at the AWA. Don't they look like twins? They are actually brothers. They were from an accidental litter of bunnies. Their mother and father were actually supposed to both be of the same gender, which is actually a common mistake made at pet stores. Patrick and Shamrock enjoy being brushed, eating carrots, and digging in the dirt outside. Come meet these cuties today!
